I still call my family and multiple friends I have had since high school by dialing their number on my cell phone.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

“I got to where suicide sounded sane.”

Americans gambled $150 billion through online sportsbooks last year.

Far too many lost nearly everything.

This op-ed isn't the worst thing I've read about beer in the @nytimes.com, but it relies on some very facile ideas about how the craft beer market works that don't hold up to basic scrutiny.

Reading this after having visited Hercules Lagerbar in Mexico City twice in the past three days made this garbage seem all the more galling.

Craft beer is a magnet for bad takes, but this one is truly fucking terrible.

Craft brewers have been moving towards lagers, pilsners, lower ABV beers, and classic styles for half a decade.

But buddy thinks wacky beer names, crazy styles, and high ABV beer are what is killing the industry. FOH.

It's also Fall Break for a number of the Metro area's biggest school systems. Including APS.

Spotted on the side of the highway in Mexico City.

I love Chicago and visit there often, but man, at the moment, I don't think it is an ideal vacation spot for our Mexican brothers and sisters.

Brassica oleracea, also known as wild cabbage in its uncultivated form, is a plant of the family Brassicaceae. The species originated from feral populations of related plants in the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was most likely first cultivated. It has many common cultivars used as vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, romanesco, kale, Brussels sprout, collard, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan.

Yes, if a male grifter like Chris Rufo or Ben Shapiro were named the head of CBS News, yes, the reaction would have been just as fierce.

No one is objecting because she's a woman. Jesus, get a grip.

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 1d

You think for ONE SEC that a man in her position who was named head of CBS News would be the subject of so much to-do? Come on.

The whole "you should be proud of Bari Weiss because she's a WOMAN entrepreneur" argument reminds me of this comic:
